, My invention relates to improvements in methods of making neckties of thetype shown in my and to mechanism for use in practicing said method. My invention also relates to improvements in the in my Patent No.

a continuation in part of my copending application, now issued as Patent 2,378,671 of, June 1 1945.

In my Patent No. 2,131,545 I have described the steps which were necessary in the making of my four-fold tie as shown in my. Reissue Patent No. 20,942. These steps involved cutting the blank, hemming the edges, position'ng each blank singly in my embossing press and then folding and bar tacking the tie. Y this patent, the essential step ofpositioning and locating the blank so that the creases would oc- The hemmed edge of each blank was fitted within a recess in each female plate of the press and sopositioning of fac'litated.v Asingle blank accurately positioned.

toward 1mprov steps of manufactureof my patwherein the blank, provided with three precreased fold, lines extending substantially throughout the length of the blank, divides the blank into four flaps of substantially equal width. This precreased blank is then folded in a very precise manner. flapis first folded over to form an edge fold between said side flap and a contiguous flap. The folded edge is then positioned so that it lies substantially in alignment with the precreased fold line of the opposite side flap. Spaced machine bar tack stitches are then inserted which extend through the outer flap of the blank and both layers formi g the edge fold. The position for the bar tacks is indicated by a series of notches cut in the blank prior to precreaising or embossing. The .bar tacked blank is then pulled inside out and 'the'tie is ready for the finishing pressing.

My present invention contemplates this same procedure but is an improvement on the steps necessary topractice the method disclosed in my Patent 2,131,545, in that the individual hemming of each blank, essential to the accurate positioning of each single blank in the creasing or embossing press is avoided and a multi -blank operments in ented tie 2,131,545.

I emphasized, V in plural layers, was a-labor saving step to emboss creases extending I. Figure 1 5' the line 2-4 a ation is made possible, obviating the use of many pressingmachines heretofore required.

By my new process Iprovide a deeper recess in the embossing press and I have found that a plurality of tie blanks, v(6 to 12) may be accurately positioned in the press and the precreasing operation carried .out as rapidly as was formerly reprecreasing of a single blank.

first, this precreascannot be accomplished becausethere would of material at the ends than in the middle. By precreasing a plural hemming, however, leaving the hem p the tie uncreased, the hemming can accomplished after. creasing.

Plural layers of cut tie blanks can be positioned as accurately as it was formerly possible .to position a single cut and hemmed blank. Then the hemmin operation iscarried out on the precreased blanks.

.Since' the precreasing blank was formerly the bottle neck of the manuoperation, my discovery that by putting off the hemming operation until after precrea'sing, the blanks, could then be pressed in ofeach edge hemmed importance.

Further referring to my, which has issued as Patent copending application 2,378,671, I am able in from the side edges of the blanks which will obviate the necessity of cutting'or snipping .indicating notches to' indicate the position for the inhereby elimithe cutting department. I am also able to do this operation at .thesametime the precreased fold lines are formed. I
